Verdant canopy at BU's campus vanishing at an alarming pace

Campus disrupted by felling of trees and outbreak of fires

Tree lovers suspect ulterior motives behind the incident

The verdant canopy that once defined Bangalore University’s campus is vanishing at an alarming pace, causing distress among tree lovers and environmentalists alike.

The tranquil ambiance of Jnana Bharti campus has been disrupted by the felling of trees and the devastating outbreak of fires, resulting in the destruction of numerous plant species.

Anger and frustration simmer among those who cherish the campus’s natural beauty as they witness the destruction of its greenery. The recent forest fire in Jnana Bharti campus razed hundreds of trees, prompting an outcry from tree lovers who suspect ulterior motives behind the incident. Allegations swirl that the fires were intentionally ignited to clear land for potential sale, a move that sacrifices the campus’s ecological integrity for personal gain.

Moreover, the destruction of saplings further exacerbates concerns, serving as a grim reminder of the callous disregard for the environment. Environmentalists raise serious accusations, decrying the rampant exploitation of natural resources for selfish interests. The consequences of such actions extend beyond the campus, exacerbating issues like the city’s dwindling drinking water supply.

In the face of these challenges, there’s a growing sense of urgency to halt the assault on the environment before irreparable damage occurs. Calls intensify for immediate measures to curb these destructive practices and safeguard the campus’s ecological balance.

Failure to address these concerns risks further environmental degradation, threatening not only the campus’s biodiversity but also the well-being of the broader community.
